Persons

Overview

The person configuration item stores identification data such as first name, last name, and contact information. You can enter such information as a unique staff number and the email address of each person.
For every employee of your company, a person record an at least one user account record should be registered. These configuration items are linked in such a way that each user account belongs precisely to one person, but each person can hold more than one account.
